NFL Rumors: Rams Felt Teams Pretended to Be Lower on Stetson Bennett Before Draft

The Los Angeles Rams dropped some jaws around the NFL when they used a fourth-round pick on Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett.

Internally, though, the Rams were sold at least a few teams were high on Bennett.

Jordan Rodrigue of The Athletic reported some within the Rams organization felt teams "were pretending they weren't as high on Bennett as they really were."

Rams director of draft management J.W. Jordan said he felt inherent biases about Bennett's supporting cast at Georgia led to some evaluators not seeing him fairly.

"That's what you think going in," Jordan said.
